Accessibility information is available for these areas of the park:

• Touring campground

An adventure playground, large grassy area and horseshoe pits are in the day-use area.

A sani-station and dump is available during the collecting season and is located near the entrance of the park. 
 

Campfires are allowed and campfire rings are provided at each campsite. We encourage visitors to conserve wood and protect the environment by minimizing the use of fire and using campstoves instead. Firewood can be purchased in the park or you may bring your own wood. Fees for firewood are set locally and may vary from park to park. Limited burning hours or campfire bans may be implemented. 

To preserve vegetation and ground cover, please don’t gather firewood from the area around your campsite or elsewhere in the park (this is a ticketable offence under the Park Act). Dead wood is an important habitat element for many plants and animals and it adds organic matter to the soil.

This park has a day-use and picnic area with fire pits, picnic tables, pit toilets, three long sandy beaches and change houses. There is also a covered shelter which has picnic tables and a wood stove. Firewood is not provided in the day-use area so people need to bring their own. 

Group picnicking is open from May 15 to September 30 and reservations are available for the picnic shelter.

Pit toilets are located throughout the park. Flush toilets are located at the Lakeside campground.

There are hot showers at the Lakeside campground. The showers are coin operated and cost one looney ($1) for approximately four minutes.

Ten kilometres of hiking trails are a popular way for the whole family to enjoy the park. Many of these trails double as cross-country ski trails during the winter.

A self-guiding nature trail begins in the day-use parking lot opposite the picnic shelter. View a beaver lodge and a series of beaver dams. Note the nest boxes and platforms around the pond built by Ducks Unlimited.

For your own safety and the preservation of the park, obey posted signs and keep to designated trails. Shortcutting trails destroys plant life and soil structure.

There are three long sandy beaches with two buoyed off swim areas. Keep in mind that there are no lifeguards on duty. 

Canoeing and kayaking can be enjoyed at this park.

Visitors can fish for rainbow trout either by boat, or by casting from shore. The best time to fish in the lake is either in early spring or most evenings throughout the summer. There are ice fishing opportunities in this park. Anyone fishing or angling in British Columbia must have an appropriate licence.

Pets and domestic animals must be on a leash at all times and are not allowed in beach areas or park buildings. You are responsible for their behaviour and must dispose of their excrement. Backcountry areas are not suitable for dogs or other pets due to the potential for problems with bears and other wildlife.

There is approximately 10 km of hiking trails with regulations for bikers. Hikers have right-of-way. Bicycles must keep to roadways and trails. Helmets are mandatory in British Columbia.

Please note that bicycles with electric assist motors (e-bikes) are permitted on signed or designated trails within Ten Mile Lake Park, provided they meet the definitions and criteria for e-bike use as outlined in the BC Parks cycling guidelines.

There are approximately 10 km of cross-country ski trails set in the winter. There are also snowshoeing opportunities at this park and the lake freezes over in the winter allowing for ice skating. The road into the park is ploughed to the first parking lot.
